Deep. Sometimes painful to read because of the precise depiction of how bad racism was and is in America.

This is a collection of short stories that the author wrote. The first section deals with stories about the South and the second part deals with stories about the North (I think or it might be vice versa). Anyway, at the end there is a longer story that serves as a union of the "North and South." I didn't really enjoy this book much but I think it is partly because I only had 4 days to read...more

Anyway, at the end there is a longer story that serves as a union of the "North and South." I didn't really enjoy this book much but I think it is partly because I only had 4 days to read it and not enough time to really think things through. Either way this book is ok and I recommend it if you have time and you don't mind thinking about the reading because it can be very hard to make sense of at times.   hide

This was one of the most amazing books I have ever read. I can't quite put my finger on why--It's like, it's got aspects of Magical Realism, but it's completely real. It's so magnificently fragmentary, so indirect--I love it. Everyone with any interest in literature and/or the Harlem Rennaisance and/or the history of African Americans must read this book.

it is a very intersting book, in fact m doing my Masters degree thesis on it. it a master piece that cannot be classifed. in short it is a work of Art ( not entirely a novel, a play, a drama, a poem, or anything else). it is everything and nothing all at a time

Very nice!

Strange but brilliant view of Race in the Ameriacn South.

Amazing

This book contains some of the most beautiful, unforgettable prose I've ever encountered.

Hated every second of it.
